Chief bags CEDIA Award

Wall-mount manufacturer Chief has won the CEDIA US 2008 Manufacturers’ Excellence Award for Best New Product in the residential electronic systems industry, for its PIWRF No-Profile In-Wall Swing Arm Mount.

“This is a great honor for our Chief brand of professional mounting solutions,” said Scott Gill, President & CEO of Milestone AV Technologies (of which Chief is a subsidiary). “The installer-focused and end user - friendly design elements of the PIWRF clearly differentiate it from the competition.”

The innovative design of Chief’s In-Wall Swing Arm Mount is said to solve the common challenge of stud placement, a significant obstacle when wall mounting a flat panel TV. The mount’s patent-pending design allows unlimited placement of the in-wall box between studs, permitting the flat panel to be positioned at the perfect wall location (without cutting into studs or install headers).

In addition, the mount offers a full set of user features including Centris LP(tm) fingertip tilt, 15 inches of extension and 40 degrees of left or right swivel, all while supporting flat panels up to 200 lbs (90.7 kg).
